New and Changed Features

SUBSCRIBE Failover

SUBSCRIBE failover behavior is the same as the behavior of Register/Invite messages. The phone restarts subscribe messages, including subscribe event type Call-Info, BLF, Hoteling, and as-feature-event, if the registration IP changes, regardless of the Auto Register When Failover setting.

When the Auto Register When Failover setting is Yes, all SUBSCRIBE failovers trigger reregistration.

A new parameter, SIP Accept Encoding, is added to support the content-encoding gzip feature.

Behavior During Times of Network Congestion

Anything that degrades network performance can affect voice and video quality, and in some cases, can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following activities:

- Administrative tasks, such as an internal port scan or security scan

- Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack

To reduce or eliminate any adverse effects to the devices, schedule administrative network tasks during a time when the devices are not being used or exclude the devices from testing.
